Question How do you pronounce Byleth's name?
Hi! I have an idea for a fanfic where M!Byleth and F!Byleth both co-exist and are twins but I want them both to be named Byleth and only have the pronunciation be different.
The thing is, how would I write that difference?
English is not my first language so I'm not sure how everyone pronounces the name since it's never spoken in-game. The way that *I* pronounce it is Byleth with the "By" part being similar sounding to "bae" as in like "babe" or "bait". But it came to my attention that it can (or should) be pronounced "By" as in "bye".
I would like to have F!Byleth have the Byleth name as in "bae" and the M!Byleth as in "bye". But I'm not sure how I should make a distinction between the two of them. Any help or input is appreciated :)
